atmos MP-10 Convoy at Wonder Festival 2020 plus Earthrise and Seacons displays

It was this time last year at Wonder Festival 2019 [Winter] that Takara Tomy revealed their intentions to release repaints of MP-10 Convoy/Optimus prime based on Nike Air Max shoes designed by Japanese designer atmos. A year later we have what may be the final design for the "duck camo" version that mixes camouflage and blaze orange. Changes are fairly minor from the original prototype, the weapons are now orange instead of brown and the truck stripe is now camo. The orange is a lot paler than on the shoe so hopefully there's still some room for improvement. Images come via Dengeki Hobby.













Meanwhile at WonFes 2020 we also got to see a full Selects Seacons set on display. This is likely all final retail figures since the final set is due for release in Japan in March. Interestingly they've included Lio Convoy in the display, perhaps foreshadowing the coming of a certain other king of the ocean from his time? Photos also come via Dengeki Hobby. Interestingly the display points out quite prominently that Selects is a joint venture between Takara Tomy and Hasbro rather than the two companies doing their own things separately under the same logo as we previously thought. It seems Hasbro may have had some involvement in the Seacons' and Star Convoy's creation after all.







And finally, we little fanfare, was a display for Japan's wave 1 of Earthrise plus Omega Supreme. Comparing the displays and how little of ER will be sold at retail it would seem like Takara Tomy has much bigger plans for Studio Series in 2020. Image comes via @is42731 on Twitter.
